But I agree with NyarukoW. The whole party is wasting other people's time by withdrawing when df pops. The members should have encouraged a ready check beforehand, and the leader should have ensured everything was ready and finalised before entering the df. This group penalty is a very good example of how one's irresponsible actions can affect others (even if they're in the same party), and therefore will help teach the community to be more considerate of others.


Of course, SE can modify the system to only penalize the leader (in your case) or the member(s) who clicked the withdraw button/allowed it to time out, but I am already very satisfied with this current design.
They aren't wasting anyone's time more than an individual withdrawing from the queue. In fact they're actually wasting fewer people's time as a group than an individual does. Think about it. If a group of 7 joins a queue for 8 person content, and the group of 7 withdraws, they are only wasting 1 other person's time. If an individual joins a queue for 8 person content and then withdraws, they are wasting 7 people's time. Sounds worse to me when the individual does it.

So what's the reason to punish the whole group for one person's actions again?

Also: Three. Strikes. It's not something that happens instantly.
Read my sig. What you're complaining about does not exist.
